[Verse 1]
There's a white flag in my eye
It's the wrong place, the right time
My broken wings have learned to fly
What if we leave this behind?
[Chorus]
Hey! Take me far away from me
Hey! Wake me when the slate is clean
Innocence came and left
Got no time to second guess
Remember 'cos you can't forget
Erase the past, get outta here fast
[Verse 2]
Within a flash, we've arrived
Here's to the rest of our lives
We're a boomerang in a hurricane
Because of love, we're survived
[Chorus]
Hey! Take me far away from me
Hey! Wake me when the slate is clean
Innocence came and left
Got no time to second guess
Remember 'cos you can't forget
Erase the past, get outta here fast
[Bridge}
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....
[Chorus]
Hey! Take me far away from me
Hey! Wake me when the slate is clean
Innocence came and left
Got no time to second guess
Remember 'cos you can't forget
Erase the past, get outta here fast
[Outro}
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....

[Verse 1]
We're at the place where I met you
In university
Where you waited on me
Then I waited for you to walk me home
You order what you always do
You look across at me
My menu's still open -- it's all I can see
I never knew love before you
And how I've sacrificed
Like I did just for you
As you look up at me, our food arrives
I never said, "Do as I do,"
All I wished for you
Was the strength to be someone you wanted to be
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah, woah
[Chorus 1]
Killing you with kindness
Without a second thought
"Everything or nothing,"
Was never in the cards
The devil's out of hiding
It's over, and sometimes it's no one's fault
[Verse 2]
I pay the bill, 'cos it's my turn
At last, it must be said:
"I just know that it's time
I don't know why it's time
I just, I know
You've been a perfect gentleman
As much as now is then
I just need to be someone
Who, with you, I can't be."
[Chorus 2]
Killing you with kindness
Without a second thought
"Everything or nothing,"
Was never in the cards
The devil's out of hiding
It's over, and sometimes it's someone's fault
[Chorus 1]
Killing you with kindness
Without a second thought
"Everything or nothing,"
Was never in the cards
The devil's out of hiding
It's over, and sometimes it's no one's fault
[Post-Chorus]
It's over, it's over, it's over (and over)
It's over, it's over, it's over (and over)
It's over, it's over, it's over (and over)
It's over (and over)

[Verse 1]
There's one, only one, with whom to be
But for those who share the belief
In the end, we're free, yeah
Hedonistic beings
You'd stay, but you weigh joy and grief
[Chorus]
You go your way, I'll go mine
Take it or leave it
Love is lust with compromise
Beggin' and pleading
[Verse 2]
It's not that she stopped loving me
There's just other fish in the sea
[Chorus]
You go your way, I'll go mine
Take it or leave it
Love is lust with compromise
Beggin' and pleading
[Bridge]
Woah, woah, oh, oh, oh, oh
Woah, woah, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus / Breakdown]
You go your way, I'll go mine
Take it or leave it
Love is lust with compromise
Beggin' and pleading
[Chorus]
You go your way, I'll go mine
Take it or leave it
Love is lust with compromise
Beggin' and pleading
[Outro]
You go your way, I'll go mine
Take it or leave it, take it or leave it
You go your way, I'll go mine
Take it or leave it, take it or leave it

[Verse 1]
I come here
To pour my guts to strangers
Who pour my drinks
It's safer; their job is to pretend
The romance
We both knew would not last
But wanted to believe in
For me, there's still the dream
[Chorus 1]
I wasn't what she wanted
Now it's plain to see
She has got a daughter
That don't belong to me
[Verse 2]
People, they all change
But the photos stay the same
Don't burn them; they'll always be true
But throw our fantasies in a bonfire of vanities
The truth hurts less than losing you
[Chorus 1]
I wasn't what she wanted
Now it's plain to see
She has got a daughter
That don't belong to me
[Bridge]
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus 1]
I wasn't what she wanted
Now it's plain to see
She has got a daughter
That don't belong to me
[Chorus 2]
I'll finish what she started
And drown it in the sea
If home is where the heart is
Why'd she have to leave?
[Outro]
She don't belong
She don't belong to me

[Intro]
Woah, uh, uh, uh, uh
Woah, uh, uh, uh
[Verse 1]
It's a mistake only the first time
Then after that it's up to you
When can I say "I've hit the lowest,"
And have it actually be true?
I'm biting every hand that reaches
Give me an inch, I'll make you bleed
We all exploit all of our closest -- is that a family?
[Chorus]
"Forget it"? I could never!
You cannot remember
Or take another point of view
Our love could last forever
If you word it like you do
[Post-Chorus 1}
If you word it like you do
Oh, word it like you do
[Verse 2]
Well, we all know I'm on my own now
Another time, another place
But nowhere else has been a home
Like you and your baby-face
[Chorus]
"Forget it"? I could never!
You cannot remember
Or take another point of view
Our love could last forever
If you word it like you do
[Bridge]
Woah, uh, uh, uh, uh
Woah, uh, uh, uh
[Chorus]
"Forget it"? I could never!
You cannot remember
Or take another point of view
Our love could last forever
If you word it like you do
[Post-Chorus 2]
You gotta word it like you do
You gotta word it like you do
You gotta word it like you do, ow, ow, ow
[Outro]
Woah, uh, uh, uh, uh
Woah, uh, uh, uh

[Verse 1]
Oh my! Did you see?
Back there, layin' beneath the trees?
My speech is lost
I've seen a g-d
Pictures look at me through the lens of memory
I suspend all disbelief;
Imagine that you also saw me
[Chorus 1]
Oh, woah, woah, oh
It's a work of perfect art
Oh, woah, woah, oh
And it's hangin' from my heart
In all my days, I've never seen, another quite like you
[Verse 1]
Go ahead without me
I'll catch you later on
I need to go back and see
If that's really what I saw
Don't look back! -- I've created an ideal
That could never be real
Stay like that! -- better left in my dreams
And fantasies, than in my sheets, oh no!
[Chorus 2]
Oh, woah, woah, oh
It's a work of perfect art
Oh, woah, woah, oh
And it's hangin' from my heart
At end of days, I'll never see, another quite like you
[Chorus 1]
Oh, woah, woah, oh
It's a work of perfect art
Oh, woah, woah, oh
And it's hangin' from my heart
In all my days, I've never seen, another quite like you

Shattered Hearts (Demo)

[Verse 1]
Once more, you see "The One,"
Break like the setting sun
It's not new but you wanted it to, to be
She's grabbed another branch
But still has not let go of the one she holds
Like we're vines and rope
[Chorus]
Never, never, never, never again
(woah, woah, woah)
Don't say, "Never, never, never, never" again
(woah, woah, woah)
[Verse 2]
I watched my beloved one
Break like a hit and run
If it's time to go, at least let me know -- you know?!?
The punches you threw at me
Sometimes they'd break my face
But to this day, they hit right here
[Chorus]
Never, never, never, never again
(woah, woah, woah)
Don't say, "Never, never, never, never" again
(woah, woah, woah)
[Tag]
'Cos sometimes these meanings
Take the shape of fleeting lovers
Strangle a heart and watch it beat again
(woah, woah, woah)
[Bridge]
So the place we start is the place we end
Nothing build on lies could become much else
You can push, you can shove, but eventually
They'll rise and say:
"Everyone, everything I have come to know
They are gone if you leave
But I've lost before
I am worth much more than the leftovers you've left me with."
[Chorus]
Never, never, never, never again
(woah, woah, woah)
Don't say, "Never, never, never, never" again
(woah, woah, woah)
[Tag]
'Cos sometimes these meanings
Take the shape of fleeting lovers
Strangle a heart and watch it beat again
(woah, woah, woah)
[Ad/lib]
Our shattered hearts will learn to beat again
Our, our, our shattered hearts will learn to beat again
Woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah
[Outro]
You can hide from me
But you won't escape what you're running from:
It's you
La, la, la, la, la

[Verse 1]
I am a flash in the pan of a history book -- hello!
I had the best-laid plans till I took one look at your halo
You brought a gun into this fight
When everybody else had knives
But every saint's got a past
Every sinner a chance to rewrite
(alright)
[Verse 2]
I am the third-born of three
With a penchant towards the absurd
From a family where children are better seen and not heard
They could acknowledge us instead
And they could do the things they said
'Cos you're an elder alone, doesn't mean you have earned our respect
[Pre-Chorus]
There were too many pills to make me swallow
Nothin' to show but a hatful of hollow
[Chorus 1]
This is what you think
Fallin' over me
I caught you on the way down
Trying not to breathe, yeah, heh, heh
[Verse 3]
I'm like a dog in a crate
As I patiently wait here for you
It doesn't matter where you've been
Just as long as you end up at home
You wouldn't use the words you did
If you had any clue what they meant
But it's a waste of my day if I'm just gonna stay upset
[Pre-Chorus]
There were too many pills to make me swallow
Nothin' to show but a hatful of hollow
[Chorus 2]
As vicious as a tank
Rollin' over me
I caught you on the way down
Trying not to breathe, yeah, heh, heh
[Chorus 3]
Cryin' in the dark
Slippin' on the tears
I caught 'em on the way down
Trying' not to be
Just pissin' in the wind --
All over you and me
I caught you on the way down
Trying not to breathe, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, wah, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, wah, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, wah, oh

The Feast (Demo)
04:51

[Verse 1]
Take a walk down Dewdney Trunk
Such a shock for a lowly punk such as I
I found my guide in a prison wall
Take a vow of silent calls
Take a bow and leave us all in your wake
It's goodbye
[Chorus]
(Woah, oh, oh)
They say death is the prize
(Woah, oh, oh)
For a life well-lived
(Woah, oh, oh)
They should have said it to familiar faces
Familiar faces
[Verse 2]
You took my life and made it whole
Took a dive so I could fall on my feet
Now without my guide, I must walk on
Take the time to watch us all
We align these empty halls for a feast
Without wine
[Chorus]
(Woah, oh, oh)
They say death is the prize
(Woah, oh, oh)
For a life well-lived
(Woah, oh, oh)
They should have said it to familiar faces
Familiar faces
[Bridge]
You can't die on me, it's not time to leave
You can't die on me, it's not time to leave
You can't die on me, it's not time to leave
You can't die on me, you can't die on me
(in my time of need)
You can't die on me, it's not time to leave
You can't die on me, it's not time to leave
You can't die on me, it's not time to leave
You can't die on me, it's not time to leave
(in my time of need)
You can't die on me, you can't die on me
You can't die on me, it's not time to leave
You can't die on me, you can't die on me
You can't die on me, please don't die on me
Please don't die on me
Please don't die on me
Please don't die on me
Please don't die on me
Please, please, please, please, please, please...

[A Verse 1]
Hello, dearest Isabella
By the time you read this, I may no longer be alive
Though it's but a distant memory
Your mother once was my first wife
Are you surprised?
[B Verse 1]
You may never have known of my existence -- just as well
My position would have been a stranger after all
[A Verse 2]
I was in the dark about you
Never told that you'd been given life
And were not mine
A perfect stranger bore the news to me --
Unanswered questions that flooded my mind
Were washed aside
[B Verse 2]
Everything went black the very moment you arrived
By the Grace of something
I somehow managed to stay alive
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It should've never come as much of a surprise
That your life and mine would somehow coincide
[Chorus 1]
It's not crazy when you look at you and I
From far away, we've shared illuminating light
On all the pain that you were given at the time
[Tag 1]
At our worst, we begin
At our worst, we begin
[A Verse 3]
I sometimes wonder if I'll meet you
Or if a second hand will tell you lies
About our lives
Whatever happens, happens to you
If I could offer just one piece of advice
Pay no mind, and just live your life
[B Verse 3]
Don't forget to breathe
And take moments to watch the sky
You can be anything you let yourself
If you just try
Be graceful, darling, be a shining ray of light
You're in this heart of mine
[Chorus 2]
It's insane to think that you will go through life
With missing pieces
On which identities are defined
I sometimes ask myself: "Why do I care? Oh, why?"
[Tag 2]
Just the words still sting
What's the worst that could happen?
[Bridge]
The thing about truth is that it doesn't have to rhyme;
Fiction's wrapped up in a box with loose ends tied
Imagination simply imitates real life
When it's passed you by
Oh, there's never time
[Chorus 3]
Who will save you when you're falling through thin ice?
Who will take you everywhere you've dreamt at night?
All I wish for you is patience and the time
For the words and strength
For the words and strength
Who will take your wings and give you the gift of flight?
When the moments blind you, trust your heart -- it's right
Forever vacant through no fault of yours or mine
[Tag 3 / Outro]
As my words wear thin
Keep the doors open for forgiveness in the end

The Fear of Life (Demo)
03:41

[Verse 1]
We lost all our faith
But you said, "There is so much more..."
We walked all the miles
To the edge of the earth we knew
And watched everything
Through the eyes of the chosen few
Whose g-d wasn't there
In its place, there was just a mirror
[Chorus 1]
Anything goes when there's no tomorrow
What do we do today?
Me and my friends, we're like one another
Dyin' to catch a break
[Verse 2]
We waste all our days gettin' paid
But we still scrape by
Our hearts turn to stone
And our minds full of chemicals
We try to justify all the pain that we just won't show
When we know everything's not the same
As it was before
[Chorus 2]
Anything goes when there's no tomorrow
What do we do today?
Me and my friends, we're like one another
Dyin' to catch a break
A million to one is still just a number
Don't let it get in your way
Life goes away but dreams live forever
[Post-Chorus 1]
'Cos without an end
Nothing begins
[Bridge]
Woah, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh
[Chorus 2]
Anything goes when there's no tomorrow
What do we do today?
Me and my friends, we're like one another
Dyin' to catch a break
A million to one is still just a number
Don't let it get in your way
Life goes away but dreams live forever
[Post-Chorus 1]
'Cos without an end
Nothing begins
They said it again
"Tomorrow we'll be saved!"
Oh, oh!
[Outro]
It's a long hard fight if you don't overcome the fear of life

[Intro]
Yeah!
Yeah!
[Verse 1]
My confidence is a front, like everyone's
Why cry over those who won't over you?
If you're going to leave without a reason
Then just don't come crawling with an excuse
[Chorus]
The moral of the story, then?
Oh, what's the moral of the story, then?
We speak only in words unsaid
Oh, what's the moral of the story, then?
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, woah, oh
Woah, wah-ah-oh
[Verse 2]
Stop the clock but it keeps on movin'
Honey, don't look back at what's in front of you
When the ground beneath you won't stop shakin'
Make sure there are hands all over you
[Chorus]
The moral of the story, then?
Oh, what's the moral of the story, then?
We speak only in words unsaid
Oh, what's the moral of the story, then?
[Bridge}
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah
[Chorus]
The moral of the story, then?
Oh, what's the moral of the story, then?
We speak only in words unsaid
Oh, what's the moral of the story, then?
[Last Chorus]
Love is never easy, man
Oh, don't worry now, the queen is dead
It's better when it's in your head
Oh, what's the moral of the story, then?
[Breakdown}
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah

Yeah!
Yeah!

[Verse 1]
A billion bodies breathing city air
Absorb it all, avoid the eyes
Each and every single pint-sized ant
Enclosed in its sandy hill
Buried down in the unconscious mind
Left behind or lost inside
Empty of every emotion
Unexposed, uncriticized
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Stand up where you've knelt
Find it in yourself
Ring on out the pain 'til it trickles through your fingers like the sand of an ant hill
[Verse 2]
...and you'll see we're not so bad -- we are alright
A collection of connected beings
Devoid of dividing lines
Deconstructed, demythologized
Deeper than a thought of thoughts
Things we often think to think about
When will wish we would be understood?
[Chorus]
Love is not a thing that we can see
Love is not an inner state of being
Love is not the only thing we need
And the way it is ain't the way it's gotta be
[Verse 3]
If you find that you depend on "love,"
Then love it not what you feel
It's so much more than just a three-world phrase
Or third-world serenade
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Stand up where you've knelt
Find it in yourself
Pass it all around, though you insist there's no more left
Undo the theft
[Chorus]
Love is not a thing that we can see
Love is not an inner state of being
Love is not the only thing we need
And the way it is ain't the way it's gotta be

Oh, woah, oh
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
[Verse 1]
I left on the porch light
The last time you disappeared
The sleepless nights
Your voice in every sound I hear
[Verse 2]
Those lost summer nights;
We drank rye, confessed our fears
And laughed till we cried
The back fence, the rolling hills
The trees went on for miles
The stars made us small as tears
In the blink of an eye
From plain sight... your disappear
[Chorus]
It's the same old song:
Find a new friend hiding down under the weight of love
I understand, it's life and death
But it's okay to stop and say goodbye to a friend
Woah, oh, woah
[Verse 3]
You come down at night
In half-life, recurring dreams
I sit outside
The porch light extinguishes --
Awakes me in fright
It's silent -- you must be near
A fly-by-night arrives, leaves, but's never here
[Chorus]
It's the same old song:
Find a new friend hiding down under the weight of love
I understand, it's life and death
But it's okay to stop and say goodbye to a friend
Woah, oh, woah

[Verse 1]
Forty below -- at least my heart would say so
As graceful as a bull jumping out a window
{Pre-Chorus]
It's so hard to leave it in the past
When you're still untangling the mess...
[Chorus]
All the little lies we told
Started to grow
I never really liked snowballs
But they're all that I hold
What a silly life we've come to know
When the clouds are no more
All the little lies melt in my empty hands
[Verse 2]
Falling one-by-one
Little snowflakes of deception
Like webs that are spun
You don't see it till you're in one
[Chorus]
All the little lies we told
Started to grow
I never really liked snowballs
But they're all that I hold
What a silly life we've come to know
When the clouds are no more
All the little lies melt in my empty hands
{Pre-Chorus]
It's so hard to leave it in the past
When you're still untangling the mess...
[Chorus]
All the little lies we told
Started to grow
I never really liked snowballs
But they're all that I hold
What a silly life we've come to know
When the clouds are no more
All the little lies melt in my empty hands

All the little lies melt in my empty hands
All the little lies melt in my empty hands

[Intro]
Woah, woah, woah...
[Verse 1]
There's always somebody else
It's not uncommon
I see how she must have felt
As the other woman
When you call me in the night
'Cos there's nowhere left to go
Woah, oh, oh, oh
"I'm always here to help
Just not when the blinds are open."
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah, oh, oh, oh, woah
Woah, oh, oh, oh, woah
Woah, oh, oh, oh, woah
Come on, huh-huh, come on, huh-huh!
[Chorus]
We could walk together
Let a good thing go to waste
We could dig forever
The past is such a big, big place
She can say it's over
But she'll miss me when she's gone
She's gone
She's gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah, oh, oh, oh, woah
Woah, oh, oh, oh, woah
Woah, oh, oh, oh, woah
Come on, huh-huh, come on, huh-huh!
[Verse 2]
She's planning her great escape
Once more without feeling
You're making the same mistake;
Switched on and waiting
For a man who isn't yours
He's the sweetest little whore
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Too little, too much, too late;
It's all gotta be worth something
[Chorus]
We could walk together
Let a good thing go to waste
We could dig forever
The past is such a big, big place
She can say it's over
But she'll miss me when she's gone
She's gone
She's gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah, oh, oh, oh, woah
Woah, oh, oh, oh, woah
Woah, oh, oh, oh, woah
Come on, huh-huh, come on, huh-huh!
[Intro]
Woah, woah, woah...
[Chorus]
We could walk together
Let a good thing go to waste
We could dig forever
The past is such a big, big place
She can say it's over
But she'll miss me when she's gone
She's gone
She's gone

Woah, wah-ah-oh
[Verse 2]
Stop the clock but it keeps on movin'
Honey, don't look back at what's in front of you
When the ground beneath you won't stop shakin'
Make sure there are hands all over you
[Chorus]
The moral of the story, then?
Oh, what's the moral of the story, then?
We speak only in words unsaid
Oh, what's the moral of the story, then?
[Bridge}
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah
[Chorus]
The moral of the story, then?
Oh, what's the moral of the story, then?
We speak only in words unsaid
Oh, what's the moral of the story, then?
[Last Chorus]
Love is never easy, man
Oh, don't worry now, the queen is dead
It's better when it's in your head
Oh, what's the moral of the story, then?
[Breakdown}
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah
[Outro]
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!

[Verse 1]
Forty below -- at least my heart would say so
As graceful as a bull jumping out a window
{Pre-Chorus]
It's so hard to leave it in the past
When you're still untangling the mess...
[Chorus]
All the little lies we told
Started to grow
I never really liked snowballs
But they're all that I hold
What a silly life we've come to know
When the clouds are no more
All the little lies melt in my empty hands
[Verse 2]
Falling one-by-one
Little snowflakes of deception
Like webs that are spun
You don't see it till you're in one
[Chorus]
All the little lies we told
Started to grow
I never really liked snowballs
But they're all that I hold
What a silly life we've come to know
When the clouds are no more
All the little lies melt in my empty hands
{Pre-Chorus]
It's so hard to leave it in the past
When you're still untangling the mess...
[Chorus]
All the little lies we told
Started to grow
I never really liked snowballs
But they're all that I hold
What a silly life we've come to know
When the clouds are no more
All the little lies melt in my empty hands
[Outro]
All the little lies melt in my empty hands
All the little lies melt in my empty hands

[Verse 1]
In a world without a mirror
Every story that you hear
Is ceremonial: the more it's told, the more's revealed
Cleopatra's on her bed, waterdrop on her hip
Like an oasis in the desert where we slip
She said she didn't have a heart
So she'd etched one on her chest
And as I kissed her there
She said, "I think it's coming back."
How do we appear in our mirrors
Through the shame of our lies?
Tonight, we're beautiful in one another's eyes
[Chorus]
Dance like no one's watching
Sing like no one's listening
Dance like no one's watching
Sing like no one's listening
[Verse 2]
What you may not want to hear
Could be what you're looking for
What you hate and fear
Could be standing at your door
In a world without a mirror
Other senses lend themselves to perception
She says, "I'm simply your reflection..."
[Chorus]
Dance like no one's watching
Sing like no one's listening
Dance like no one's watching
Sing like no one's listening
[Post-Chorus]
And we'll say:
La da da da da da da
La da da da da da da
La da da da da da da
We are so lovely
La da da da da da da
La da da da da da da
La da da da da da da
We are so lovely
[Outro]
I am simply your reflection
I am simply you
I am simply your reflection
I am simply you
